Frank Bianco returns to gym!

22nd Jan. 2009

Last week Frank Bianco returned to his gym he has run since 1971 looking in good shape after his bad acquaintance with cancer.

Although he is still being treated with chemo he is full of life and looking ahead with confidence. Frank has been running his gym at Lower Templestowe for the last 16 years with one of the last boxers he trained being Luke Moloney, he was recently seen in "the contender series"

Frank started boxing at 11 years of age at the Collingwood youth club with Leo Cole, he won the Golden Gloves award twice 1977 and 78. After turning pro he fought Billy O'Conner and beat Alan Presnell he told YVB he sparred Les Dunn many times Les being a former opponent of the writer.

His gym mates then being Bobby Dunn, Wayne Bannister, Lionel Rose, Leo Young and Johnny Famechon, even Tony Mundine and many more.

According to Young Victor, Frank is a softy trainer and he admits that he does not push his kids which is good practice, he said that unless his boys are absolutely ready he does not let them fight anybody.

YVB hope that Frank keeps on the improve as he has a lot of young men that love the way he runs his gym.

Frank has a good man in Scotty seen below that helps him keep the gym open and Scotty has been doing a great job while Frank was in hospital in keeping the gym running. Dedicated to Frank's gym, Scotty catches the bus from Preston and walks if he doesn't have his bus fare money.

Hopkins / Danny Green

17th Jan 2009

Bernard knows this is not the same Danny that spent so much time around world rated fighters waiting for his big chance and having to return to Australia

There can only be one reason for all the excuses made by Bernard Hopkins in making sure this fight does not take place and that is that he is scared of facing Green after seeing the massive destruction of his American partner in the legend department.

All this drama points to one direction READ

Sam Soliman vs Shannon McMahon for WBF title

13th Jan 2009:

Sam Soliman is to fight Shannon McMahon at Moonee Valley Racecourse 13th March.

What seems a lopsided match, the fight is taking place and places McMahon in what surely looks to be a difficult task to undertake according to YVB.

Shannon is a good boxer but handling Sam may be hard.

Sam a master at spoiling anyone's style, this proven by beating Enrique Ornelas in 2006 who just went the distance with legend Bernard Hopkins in December 09 with Sam still, not getting a chance at a world title.

Common knowledge was that fighting Sam was difficult so he was never given the chance he deserved for a world title fight.

Sam fought and lost to Ronald Wright (Winky) a disputed decision having deserved better result.

Sam Soliman is now on the edge of his career but full of cagey experience with fitness being one of his favorite conditions.

A win for Shannon would be a great achievement, it would place him in a good position for bigger fights. Shannon is a great person and deserves this chance.

As Murray Thompson's enterprises sell videos to boxers, their families and fans alike we have been requested quite some time ago to not place online any more videos of fights. YV does not see any logic in this as the videos are in very small screen size and only good for promotional reasons and is of the opinion that anybody that likes them would only be too glad to pay for the full screen size professional video.

Johnny Butterworth formerly British Lightweight Champion. Johnny Butterworth vs George Bracken

I made my major impression in boxing in 1960 through sparring and training with this colourful boxer from the UK

This is when I truly became a fighter, I was previously ringshy and finally discovered I could punch hard.

He introduced rock and roll music while training in Snowy Sullivan's gym.

Hope you are well Johnny - I wish you all the best anyone can get.

My boxing experiences with you led me to achieve the PPBA most improved fighter of the year during 1960.

I was his main sparring partner and he was mine. What I learned from Johnny was how to combine fighting with boxing.

If you ever see this, Johnny, make sure you contact me. Johnny Butterworth had returned to the UK (Rochdale)

10th December 2006

I have recently been contacted by his nephew Colin Johnson and he told me that Johnny was his uncle and that Johnny is still alive and happily spends his time at the pub from 11: 00am every day which is common in the UK as its a social thing.

I have placed this movie so Johnny can see himself fighting a very loved by me and fans alike Aussie champion George Bracken. 

Johnny Butterworth

About this website: This website went on line 25th Jan 2002 as Young Victor (then a personal site) it quickly developed into a full blown boxing site. "Young Victor Boxing" first registered - 8th Dec 2004 as a Boxing website following into a Boxing News & Media site.

This website allows anything to be copied as Young Victor is of the opinion that Boxing benefits from other boxing enthusiasts using what they need which in turn helps boxing remain the gallant sport it has always been, the only condition is that anything copied is used sensibly and not offensive to anyone. PLEASE NOTE: Photos that belong to other professional photographers are marked as such and must not be copied. In Boxing Young Victor usually uses old time "fighters lingo" phrases and remarks with seemingly little care for spelling. Lynette a major contributor by staying fast behind the editor of the site.
